She's a Mexican-American single mom, living with her dad and barely making enough to pay the bills. So when she decides to become a sushi chef, the odds are definitely against her. This is one of those sweet, somewhat predictable movies where almost nothing terrible happens. Of course, you're rooting for her all the way. In times like these, it's so refreshing to come across a nice, feel-good movie. It never descends to the Hallmark Hall of Fame level, and the food shots will have you salivating. The only downside to watching this movie is, 30 minutes after watching it, you'll be craving more!
3.5 out of 5 stars
Heartwarming and fun, and to anyone who likes sushi but knows little about its backstory, we can highly recommend this movie. Nothing like those way-overdone cooking shows, this invites you into the character's personal drama and simultaneously presents some of the intricacies of sushi-making that few of us would ever know. Definitely worth a second watch for us.
